Is the new station Cardassian or Starfleet design? Can you give some details?

As of the end of Typhon Pact: Raise the Dawn, the new Starbase Deep Space 9 is still being built, but it's an original Starfleet design. It seems influenced by the Cardassian Nor-class station designs, however, as it makes heavy use of interconnecting rings.

As for the original question...

It's not actually a shuttle, but if I were to ask for any support craft in the Starfleet, I'd ask for a Danube-class runabout. Preferably the U.S.S. Rio Grande.

FYI, spoiler for TrekLit....

After DS9 is destroyed and a new DS9-II is being constructed, the runabout used to bring the crew to the new station for the first is, you guessed it, the Rio Grande!!!

Wow.

Thanks guys. The cover looks fantastic, but it looks more like Admiral Ross's starbase rather than construction habitat. I supposed they could have quickly towed those pieces into position, and are building the the top from the prefabricated materials. Either way, I've been meanign to get back into Trek books, I might pick this up

Not the Type 9 sweat box: "They used to shoehorn half a dozen cadets into one of these things for weeks at a time. You did not want to be around when they opened up that airlock." Though Janeway's Endgame one was a pimp-my-shuttle.
